It&#8217;s a collection of separate villa developments rather than one branded estate, spread over undulating ground with views toward La Concha mountain, the Guadalmina valley and, from the higher plots, the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the individual communities that make up La Alquer\u00eda are gated and privately secured, typically with a manned or guarded entrance rather than an open street plan. That&#8217;s a different model from a single-perimeter estate like La Zagaleta or El Madro\u00f1al, where one boundary and one security operation cover the whole development: here, each community secures its own gate, and the roads connecting them are public. The area is smaller in scale and less formal than those two, but it isn&#8217;t an open, ungated neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<p>Prices typically run from around \u20ac600K for a renovated villa to \u20ac4M for a contemporary new-build on a large plot with panoramic views. Atalaya Golf&#8217;s two courses border the lower part of the area, and Benahav\u00eds village, with its restaurants and everyday shops, is a short drive up the hill.<\/p>\n<h2>La Alquer\u00eda in 2026<\/h2>\n<p>La Alquer\u00eda&#8217;s road finally got its pavement. The urban stretch of the Benahav\u00eds road, 2.3 kilometres from the Mar y Monte roundabout at the A-7 to the La Alquer\u00eda roundabout, now has a continuous lit footpath on the eastern side, rainwater drainage and traffic calming, built by Estepona town hall for about 1.36 million euros once the Junta transferred the road, in <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/blog\/benahavis-road-sidewalk-la-alqueria-atalaya\/\">ons artikel over de weg naar Benahav\u00eds<\/a>. Colegio Atalaya ligt in het midden van de corridor en Patio de Tramores, een nieuw winkelcentrum met ongeveer een dozijn units, ligt aan de voet ervan, dus een villa hier is minder afhankelijk van auto's dan voorheen. Op voorraad moeten we duidelijk zijn: ons aanbiedingensysteem labelt doorverkopen in La Alquer\u00eda niet als eigen gebied, dus de villa's hier verschijnen onder Benahav\u00eds op <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/woningen\/benahavis\/\">onze Benahav\u00eds-pagina<\/a> en de Estepona-zijde van de corridor op <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/woningen\/estepona\/\">onze Estepona onroerend goed pagina<\/a>. Nieuwbouw in de corridor: <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/nieuwe-ontwikkelingen\/atalaya-emotion\/\">Atalaya Emotion<\/a> vanaf ongeveer 720.000 euro, <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/nieuwe-ontwikkelingen\/seven-diamonds\/\">Seven Diamonds<\/a> vanaf ongeveer 1,53 miljoen en <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/nieuwe-ontwikkelingen\/serene-atalaya\/\">Serene Atalaya<\/a> vanaf ongeveer 775.000, op <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/nieuwe-ontwikkelingen\/estepona\/\">onze pagina met nieuwe ontwikkelingen in Estepona<\/a>.

Velen wonen hier al meer dan tien jaar, aangetrokken door de combinatie van gesloten privacy op gemeenschapsniveau, nabijheid van het dorp en betere schooltoegankelijkheid dan meer afgelegen heuvels. Telewerkers en semi-gepensioneerde professionals uit Noord-Europa hebben in recente jaren aan het mengsel bijgedragen.<\/p>\n<h2>Praktische informatie<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vliegveld:<\/strong> M\u00e1laga (AGP) 68 km \/ 55 min v\u00eda AP-7<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dichtstbijzijnd strand:<\/strong> Playa El Saladillo 10 minuten met de auto.

There is no single perimeter around the whole area the way there is at La Zagaleta &#8211; each community secures its own entrance &#8211; but the area as a whole is not open or unguarded.<\/p>\n<h3>Welke scholen zijn het dichtstbij?<\/h3>\n<p>Colegio Atalaya (Atalaya Bilingual School), imparte educaci\u00f3n de los 3 a los 18 a\u00f1os, situado en el corredor justo debajo de La Alquer\u00eda. Aloha College, que sigue el curr\u00edculo IB, est\u00e1 a unos 12 minutos de distancia.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfPuedo caminar a restaurantes desde La Alquer\u00eda?<\/h3>\n<p>Vanuit sommige ontwikkelingen kunt u naar het dorp lopen, maar de meeste bewoners rijden het korte stukje naar de restaurants in Benahav\u00eds.<\/p>\n<h3>Is er glasvezel internet beschikbaar?<\/h3>\n<p>De meeste moderne ontwikkelingen hebben glasvezelverbindingen. Oudere woningen kunnen nog gebruikmaken van ADSL of vaste draadloze verbindingen, hoewel de dekking uitbreidt.<\/p>\n<h3>Hoe is het uitzicht?<\/h3>\n<p>Afhankelijk van het perceel vari\u00ebren de uitzichten van de berg La Concha en de vallei van Guadalmina tot uitzicht op zee vanaf hogere liggingen.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfC\u00f3mo se compara La Alquer\u00eda con La Quinta?<\/h3>\n<p>La Alquer\u00eda ligt dichter bij het dorp en bestaat uit kleinere, afzonderlijk omheinde gemeenschappen in plaats van \u00e9\u00e9n uniforme ontwikkeling. La Quinta is meer golfgericht met een single resort gevoel, terwijl La Alquer\u00eda een meer residenti\u00ebel, dorp-aangrenzend omgeving biedt.<\/p>\n<h3>Is het trottoir van de Benahav\u00eds-weg afgewerkt?<\/h3>\n<p>Het gemeentehuis van Estepona meldde het in juli 2026 voor meer dan 90 procent voltooid, met het aaneengesloten verlichte voetpad dat 2,3 kilometer loopt van de A-7 naar Avenida La Alquer\u00eda. Het project voegde ook afwatering en verkeersbeperkingen toe om de auto's die de weg als snelroute naar de heuvels gebruiken, af te remmen.<\/p>\n<h3>Ligt La Alquer\u00eda in Benahav\u00eds of Estepona?<\/h3>\n<p>Benahav\u00eds, voor de ommuurd villa-gemeenschappen die La Alquer\u00eda vormen. De weg zelf en de lagere corridor met Atalaya Golf en Colegio Atalaya zijn Estepona, daarom betaalde het gemeentehuis van Estepona voor het trottoir. We ordenen het in onze gidsbestanden onder Benahav\u00eds omdat dat is waar de huizen hun belastingen betalen.<\/p>\n<h3>Wat is Patio de Tramores?<\/h3>\n<p>Een nieuw winkelcentrum in de buurt aan de voet van de Benahav\u00eds-weg in de buurt van Atalaya, met ongeveer een dozijn winkels, restaurants en familieruimtes. Voor La Alquer\u00eda en Para\u00edso Alto betekent dit koffie, diner of de dagelijkse boodschappen zonder de A-7 te hoeven nemen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Alquer\u00eda?
